I have a new blog especially created for these chore charts, click on the button below!

They are new and updated and pretty awesome!

I have been asked by many to show what I do to motivate

and reward my kiddos when it comes to chores

(or really anything I feel needs to be rewarded)

Honestly, I have tried dozens of reward systems and some seem to stick more than others.

This is our most current one and seems to be working!

They get points for completing chores, helping each other out, helping mom out,

going the extra mile, etc.

Once a week we have a cash in day where they can buy certain items I have on little sheets in

these drawers...

I have so many rewards, some of them include:

mom makes your bed for a week, $5.00 for a book, game night, favorite candy and soda, favorite box of cereal, 1 extra hour of screen time, a visit to a yogurt shop, your favorite ice cream, the front seat in our car for a week, one itunes app, etc.

I think motivating and rewarding kids for things is a lifelong task that works for some and not so much for others. My 14 year old is more motivated by me saying, get it done or no friend time- it seems to be different for each kid and with our 6 it takes some serious thinking!

Good luck!

If you want a copy of the rewards I have made, please click on the BUY NOW through PayPal. It is only $1.50, includes the chore charts as well and will make all of the requests I have had for these worth the time it takes to send them out. Just make sure to include your email!

Thank you so much for the post! I would love to have a copy of your rewards list. My mind draws a blank when it comes to being creative and coming up with ideas. That is when I get ideas from people like you!! Thanks again!

Ooh ooh! Pick me! I would LOVE a copy of the list! In the process right now of trying to find something that works. Now, the only other question is, do you have a way of getting your kids to get along? Mine are constantly fighting and it drives my husband and I NUTS!

Found you on Pintrest. Would love a copy of your cards and rewards. Starting to get really worried about lack of motivation and selective work ethic of my 11 and 9 year old. Want to do it better with the younger two. JPEG is great!bekpierce@gmail.com

I'd love to have a list of your rewards too. We use myjobchart.com but it has a place to custom make rewards and I think things like "a week riding in the front seat" would be a real winner in my household. I'd never thought of a reward like that! Brilliant! :) wendysahm at g mail dot com

Love this! I use a marble system for chores and behavior, seems to work well. The kids trade in marbles for money or things like you are posting about. I would love a copy of the list please shanerfam6@hotmail.com

I also came across your post through Pinterest. I would love a copy of your reward system ideas. I am constantly looking for ideas that might help motivate my kids to get their responsibilities completed and in a timely manner. I am beginning to think that those two things are non-existent in the word of kids. ;) It is nice to find that other moms out there are working on the same thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would love to have a copy of the rewards in a jpeg format! I tried emailing, but the email didn't work for me :\I have a 13 yr old son and a 4 yr old daughter, I can't wait to try this for them! Thanks so much!

What brilliant ideas you have, thank you for sharing. I would love a copy of your rewards...that would save me significant time and energy and I can get right to the implimentation of these great ideas! cjstaal@sbcglobal.net

I would love a copy of your rewards and also your chore list cards. My new years resolution is to be more organized and I can't get enough of your blog! You have some amazing ideas! Thank you so much for sharing!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog. I have 4 children plus a teenage foster daughter and I am learning day by day of how to be more organized cause if not life is stressful! I just started doing chore charts. before we each just took an area and worked together but I have some schedule changes so I need to make some changes of how we do things. I am going to use your rumage box!!! Also your cleaning cards!! If you could send me the points rewards that would be awesome! Give me some help of what to do! I "used" to be a fun person and I want my kids to see that instead of me stressing over the house being clean or where an item is placed. Ok thank you so much!!jlsuhoney@atlanticbb.netJessica

Becki,You are so creative! Love all your chore ideas. I think I might try the ice melting or the twister mat one on Saturday with my kids. I would LOVE a copy of your rewards that you use--mostly because you are just so darn creative! In another post, I also asked for the photoshop version of your chore checklists, if you don't mind. Thanks! sarabrewstersimpson@yahoo.com

I would love a copy of your rewards. Right now I do most of the cleaning and I would love to set up a system like this that would include my kids to clean more than just their rooms! Thanks for sharing!

I would love a copy of your chore lists and your reward cards as well. I only have 5 kids, and have tried many chore/reward systems. You are so creative! I am thankful I found you on pinterest. I would love copies sent to my e-mail at dr_jodie@hotmail.com

Your blog is very inspiring! I love the reward system you set up for your kids. I need something like it, and would LOVE it if I could have a copy of your list of rewards. You are right, it takes a lot of thinking. :)

HI! I am sure you are probably tired of all the requests for the chore cards and rewards cards. Like you, I have six kids... oldest is 13, youngest is 2 and #7 is due ANYDAY now! We have tried NUMEROUS ideas and I am always looking for something that works really good. If you are still emailing these things to people, is it possible to get a copy? Would appreciate it.... a LOT! Thanks, Amyalindalt@yahoo.com

I would love to have a copy of your rewards list please. I have 5 children and am starting to get frustrated at how to keep them motivated with their chores and school work. My email address is ejclark99@yahoo.com. Thanks so very much for your blog.

You are truly amazing!! I am trying to get more organized in my home and helping my children take some responsibility.I would love it if you could send me the reward systems that would be awesome!! thank youHolleyjhathay10@msn.com

Hi! I would love a copy of your reward/chart system!! I have six kids also and I get so frustrated asking them over and over again to help me out!! I think I will start this and hopefully our house will run more smoothly and be a lot cleaner!!

HiI just found you through Pintrest I would love to get your reward and Chore Cards. I have three kids 18, 12, and 8 I feel like I'm coming apart at the seams some days. I'm in the process of making a Mommy binder so I can be more on top of things. I think making my binder while the kids were in school would have been easier but I'm up for the challenge.
